RegrettIng His Departure.

The approaching departure of Senior Don
Manuel i. Azpurua, secretary of the venezu'
elan legation, Is contemplated by his many
friends and aequaintances with feelings OF
sincere regret. His short stay at the capital
won for him IN no small dcgrce the admira-
tion OF all who listened to his mastery per-
iormsnces on the piano, and Washington will
lose one Of Its best musicians. From what
has been learned 1t would seem that Senior
Azpurua is not the only talented member of
his family. In Spanish journalism of his
country the name of his youngest brother de-
serves worthy mention, while his father
ranks as one of the best and ablest historians
and biographers of South America. OF deserv-
ing reputation is his elaborate and most com
prehensive work in fourteen volumes, entitled
,Documen,os para la HlsIoiia de Ia Vida
Publica del Lioea.ador Simon B)llyae."
His "Biogratias de Hombres Eotlbles de His
puno America" a collection of biographies of
celebrated Spanish Americans is also an In
teresting and valuable addition to the history
Of that long. enduring struggle for Sluth
American independence. As a token of his
esteem and friendship for this country the
venerable and talented author has notified
Mr.. Spofiord Of his intention of sending the
latter work TO the library of Congress.

IRISH GOVERNMENT.
The Chief Grievance of Those IrishmeI
 Who Desire Home Rule.

The Chief Grievance of Those Irishmen
 Who Desire Home Rule.
 One of the chief grievances of which those Irishmen who desire home rule complain is the way in which Ireland is governed by English officials All the local affairs of Ireland, indeed, are un- der the direct or indirect control of what is called ''the Government of Dub lin Castle
 Dublin Castle has been for many cent uries the residence of the chlet ex- ecutive ruler of Ireland, who has al- ways been appointed by the British Crown, and has been the representa- tive of the British King or Queen in that country. The Lord Lieutenant, or Vice roy, of Ireland, as the ruler is called, has always enjoyed large, almost despotic, powers. He is not re- sponsible, in any way, to the Irish peo- pie, over whose concerns he exercises so large an authority. He is respon- sible only to the British Cabinet, and, through it, to the British Parliament. If every Irishman in the island opposed his policy, they could not call him to account. So long as he was sustained by the British Government, he could do as he pleased. Usually the Lord-Lieu- tenant has been great English Peer. When he has been, as the present hold CT of the office is, an Irish nobleman, he has yet been devoted to British, rather than to Irish, interests.
 Associated with the Lord-Lieutenant is the "Chief Secretary for Ireland" who is almost invariably an English man, who sits as a member of the Brit ish House of Commons, and who goes in and out of office with the British politic- al party to which he belongs. The Lord-Lieutenant also holds his place only so long as his party is in power.
 These two chief officials, with their headquarters at Dublin Castle, preside over large body of minor officials, and over the general lscal concerns of Ire land. The Lord-Lieutenant has a very wide range of appointing power. Ireland's affairs are mainly administered by number of boards, the chief of which are the boards of local government, public works, na- tional and intermediate education, lunacy, fisheries, charities, prisons and loan funds. The members of all these boards are chosen by the Lord-Lieu- tenant, and work under his supervision. They manage all the affairs relating to the poor, public health, cattle diseases, the prisons and the schools, and other purposes of local governing bodies. There are local elective boards in the Irish towns, but these are elected by restricted suffrage, and their acts may be reversed and rejected by the central boards at Dublin.
 The Lord-Lieutenant also appoints the eLord-Lieutenants of the Irish coun- ties, and these, in their turn, select the unpaid magistrates who dispense justice in the local courts. It is said that, all though Ireland is Catholic by more than

Microbes in the Soil.

The value of the action of microbes il the soil would not be questioned by any one who had given the matter sufficient thought. But to establish conclusion by means of experiment always com mends itself to the scientific mind. M Laurent has made series of compara- tive experiments in order to ascertain the influence of the microbes on vege- table life. Seeds of buckwheat were sown in four different kinds of mould. In the first flower-pot natural mould was employed; in the second the same earth sterilized and then inoculated with bactera of the soil; in the third simply sterilized mould; and in the fourth sterilized mould with the addition of chemical manure. Precautions were taken to prevent contamination of the four receptacles. The production of wheat in each of the pots respectively was in the proportion of 94, 96, 23, 66. In all the experiments the third series was inferior to the others. The value of microbes in soil rich in organic dc tritus seems thereby to be proved.-- LGncet.
